Rain Drops

As their kiss grew more and more heatedly, it began to rain and then poured down, but they didn't care, at the moment nothing else mattered to them, but each other.

Somehow they made it to the gatehouse, they came crashing in the front door and into the living room. They were soaking wet, drops of water fell from their clothes, hitting the floor. Skye pulled at Ned's tan shirt, slipping it over his head, she slowly ran her hands over his abdomen and up his chest, discovering he was soaked all the way through.

Fragile Like a baby in your arms Be gentle with me I'd never willingly Do you harm

His hands tugged at the low cut red top she had on, the weigh of the water made it seems like it was melted to her ivory skin, he lifted the shirt over her head to expose her cream colored bra. Things were suddenly moving to fast for Skye's taste. She slipped her shoes off and pushed her shirt down her thighs, Ned watched as it crumbled to the floor.

Apologies Are all you seem to get from me But just like a child You make me smile When you care for me And you know......

The thin wet material of her delicates left very little to the imagination. Skye reached for the button on Ned's pants and before he knew it she had him stripped down completely naked. She backed him in to a sitting position on the couch. She threw her left leg over him and slid down onto his lap.

It's a question of lust It's a question of trust It's a question of not letting What we've built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together

Ned's mouth captured hers, he gave her a long passionate kiss, exploring every inch of her mouth. His hands rubbed her back lightly, causing her to moan into his mouth. As their kiss broke she trailed a kiss down his neck and then onto his chest. His hands tangled in her hair.

Independence Is still important for us though (we realize) It's easy to make The stupid mistake Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

Suddenly she jumped up from his lap, leaving him dazed, but before he got a chance to say anything, she hooked her fingers on either side of her thong and slowly and seductively slid them down her thighs.

My weaknesses You know each and every one (it frightens me) But I need to drink More than you seem to think Before I'm anyone's And you know......

Once they were off, she resumed her earlier position. Skye lowered herself down onto Ned's arousal, painfully slow. He reached behind her back and unhooked her bra, removing it from sight. He lightly kissed her as she moved her hips in a rhythmical motion. He began to lift up, meeting her movement.

It's a question of lust It's a question of trust It's a question of not letting What we've built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together

Skye brought her mouth next to his ear, "Ned, I want you to relax, let me do this for you."

Kiss me goodbye When I'm on my own But you know that I'd Rather be home

Ned's head leaned back onto the couch, he closed his eyes as he let her pleasure them both. His hands caressed her inner thighs as her inner silkiness contracted heavenly around his shaft. Her movements were becoming quicker and deliberate. His eyes opened and became fixed on her. He moaned her name a few times and then grabbed her hips tightly as he gave her his life's essence.

It's a question of lust It's a question of trust It's a question of not letting What we've built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together

They both remained perfect still, complete satisfied and waited until her breathing returned to normal.

"That was incredible." Skye finally spoke.

"Incredible doesn't begin to describe it." Ned confessed.

Ned brought his hand up and brushed her wet hair away from her face, "Did anyone ever tell you that you were an amazing lover?"

"It doesn't matter, because I've heard it from you."

Ned pulled her closer to him and began kissing her, "Shall we go upstairs?"

"We've got all the necessary equipment right here." Skye whispered.

"Yeah?" Ned teased as he began kissing her neck.

"I'm more than sure." Skye felt him harden and began to move her hips slightly, causing Ned to move his mouth from her neck to her mouth kissing her savagely. Her hand caressed small circles on his chest.

Ned took her hands in his and interlaced their fingers. While kissing her neck, he kept a tight grip on her hands. Skye wanted to touch him, to run his hands through his hair or caress his chest.

"Ned, you're torturing me." Skye gasped

Ned removed his lips from her neck, "And you don't think you're torturing me with your slow movements?" He let go of her right hand, "Is that better?"

"Much." She commented as she ran her free hand down his chest and then followed with butterfly kisses.

Suddenly the door opened, but Ned and Skye were so caught up in themselves that they didn't notice. Jax walked into the living room. The back of the couch was facing him so it took a few seconds for things to register.

"What the hell's going on here?" Jax yelled.

Ned and Skye both froze in their movements, he grabbed the afghan from the back of the couch and covered the front of their bodies.

"Nothing that concerns you." Skye snapped.

"Nothing that concerns me? You're my ex-wife and he's my best friend and I walk in to find the two of you having sex." Jax said outraged.

"Jax, you should have knocked then, this is my home and I can do whatever I damn well please." Ned yelled back.

"This is unbelievable." Jax uttered.

Skye let out a heavy sigh, "Then leave."

Jax rubbed his hands over his face, "Leave? So the two of you can finish what I interrupted?"

Skye rolled her eyes, "Well it doesn't matter now."

"Wait for us in the kitchen Jax. We'll get dressed and be right in." Ned replied firmly.

Jax disappeared leaving Skye and Ned alone, "Well, that ruined the mood." She joked. Skye pulled away from Ned, got up and started gathering her clothes.

"I'll make it up to you." Ned promised as he began to pull on his wet pants.

Skye smiled, "I'm going to hold you to that."

Ned started to laugh, "This isn't going to work." He threw his wet pants back on the floor, "We need dry clothes. Why don't we go upstairs and I'll find us something to wear."

Skye wrapped the afghan around herself and they both headed up the stairs.

Jax was walking around in kitchen, pacing back and fourth while waiting for his best friend and his ex-wife. His mind was reeling, "How could this have happened?" He asked himself.

Ned was first one down the stairs and into the kitchen. Jax looked up and saw him, "How the hell could you do this?"

"Do what?"

Jax let out a long winded breath, "Take up with Skye. You and Alexis are suppose to be raising Kristina together. I leave for a while and come back to find out that you're fucking my ex-wife. You knew that I wanted her back."

"That's what happens when you leave and then come back expecting everything to be the same. Alexis lost visitation of Kristina. Skye and I have discovered we have something in common."

"Sex?" Jax questioned.

"Actually, yes Ned and I were very bored and decided to start a physical relationship." Skye laughed as she walked into the kitchen.

"This is your fault Skye." Jax accused.

"My fault?"

"Yes, I told you to stay away from Ned, that he belonged with his family. You're my ex-wife and not suppose to be sleeping with my best friend."

"That's my point Jax, I'm your ex-wife I wasn't good enough for you when Brenda came back, you left me because you found an excuse to, I wasn't good enough. Am I not good enough for Ned either?"

Jax fell silent which enraged Skye, "I'm not good enough for you, or at least I was until Brenda returned and now I'm not good enough for Ned?"

"No, but you're distracting him from his family."

"What family? He and Alexis aren't together and haven't been for a long time now. He's the one raising their baby, Alexis is sick and is refusing help. How dare you come back into town and tell me who I have a right to see, you don't mean anything to me Jax and you haven't for a long time now."

Jax stood completely still and very silent much to her dislike.

"You treated me like yesterdays garbage while you chased after Brenda only for her to cross you in the end. So if there's anyone to blame, blame yourself because I was doing just fine and so was everyone else before you rode back into town on your white horse. Nobody here wants you, not after the way you treated me or Brenda. So why don't you just go back from where ever you were and stay there."

"Why don't you leave Port Charles? Nothing's keeping you here, the Quartermaine's aren't your family." Jax pointed out.

Skye fell silent, once again Jax had found a way to make her feel like she was nothing. She turned and walked out of the kitchen.

"Jax, what the hell was that? Were you even thinking?" Ned questioned, "This is my house." He added.

"But you and Skye were going at it on your living room couch. You can't deny it."

"No, I can't and I won't deny it. Skye and I were having sex on the couch." Ned stated matter-of-factly.

"I can't believe this." Jax mumbled.

"Why not? Skye is a caring, beautiful, seductive woman. She can also be scheming, vindictive and conniving, but she's independent and doesn't give a damn about what anyone thinks yet she would do anything to protect the ones she loves."

Jax shook his head, not believing what he was hearing, "I'll give you a piece of advice, you can do with it what you like. Skye's insecure, manipulative and self destructive. You should walk away while you still can."

"I don't want to talk away. You're the reason she's insecure and the reason she self destructive. You tore her world apart. So if you can't accept that Skye and I are together then maybe you should just leave."

Jax was silent, Ned let out a sigh, "Well, I have to go find Skye." Ned left Jax standing in the kitchen.

Ned walked through the hallway and into the living room, hoping Skye would be there, but she wasn't. He grabbed his jacket and went out the door.

He opened the door of the Quartermaine Mansion, quietly shutting it behind him before he headed for the stairs. He made his way down the hall and into Skye's room. She was sitting on the window seat, watching it rain. He closed the door behind him.

"Skye." He whispered softly, "We need to talk."

Ned walked over to her and sat down across from her. When the crack of lightening lit up the room, he seen the tears falling down her face. He leaned forward and wiped them away with his thumbs, "I told Jax to leave." Ned's hand lingered on her face, "Tell me how I can make you feel better?"

"I don't think you can." Skye jerked her head away from him, she propped it against the window, she didn't want to look him in the eye. Ned turned her face towards him, "What Jax said was stupid, you shouldn't take anything he says seriously. He was just mad."

"I know, but Jax isn't the one I have on my mind."

"No?" Ned questioned.

"No, Ned, I have to tell you something and I don't know if you're going to want to hear it or not."

Ned grew concerned, "Skye, you can tell me anything, I won't get mad."

Skye nodded, biting her lip, a few tears fell from her eyes, "Umm, I was looking at my calender today and I realized that, um, I, I'm late."
